Well latelly I have been shooting Noslers and Speers outta my 7MM RM getting alright grouping 1" , But today I made up a batch of 145 Spiter Speers 55.5g 4350 and CCI 250 Primers and Im clover leafing all 5 shots accurate as hell so im just wondering to who hunts game with a 145 I Hunted with 150's for years and shoot moose and black bear with no problems just wondering about the 145 with this accuracy it would sure make a nice hunting round.

The Speer is a good bullet, but nowhere near as tough as a Nosler Partition. That load doesn't sound to me like very much powder to be burning for a 7mm mag. I never used any of the 4350 powders in mine when I had it, but to put it in perspective, I load more H4350 (58.5)in a 30-06 with a 165 gr bullet than that. I would check the IMR website for a load, I would think it would be closer to 60 grains, maybe more. That being said, if it's jsut humming along at 2800 or 2900 fps the bullet will likely hold together better anyway, but more like 280 velocities.

139gr hornady may also work well in your gun. For those long shots on deer it may be the ticket. 160's - 175's for the big old swamp donkey

X2 I use 160gr partitions for everything, H870 or Retumbo for 3100fps + .
